| 520 | |a This review provides a picture of what is known about adults' participation in education and training, with a particular emphasis on the vocational. Section 1 focuses on definitions and examines what the literature has to say about who counts as an adult learner and what counts as adult education and training. Section 2 reviews the literature on participation and motivation in adult education and highlights findings relative to vocational education and training. Section 3 concentrates on two studies in providing the most recent generalizable information on demographics affecting participation, especially in vocational education and training. Section 4 addresses barriers to participation in education and training. It covers types of barriers, problems while participating, and alleviating barriers to participation. Section 5 focuses on employers' attitudes, policies, and practices on adult education and training. The literature is arranged thematically. Themes include government commissioned surveys on the state of United Kingdom training and comparisons with economic competitors, funding of training, and public sector training provision.
